An outdoor gallery worth the drive

An outdoor gallery worth the drive

Who doesn’t love checking out things along Route 66… if you’re in Tulsa, it’s worth the 45-minute drive to check out this amazing example of visionary art, Ed Galloway’s Totem Pole Park.

This awesome, free, outdoor gallery is the oldest and largest example of a folk art environment in Oklahoma. It took Galloway between 1937 and 1961 to complete the 11 objects and 1 building that you’ll find here. The main focal point is a 90-foot-tall totem pole; it took 9 years just to create this piece! Galloway had to rely on his community, as neighbors began sharing leftover paint and building materials so he could complete the piece. How cool!

  • There’s parking on site, and a packed gravel-and-dirt path that connects the pieces of artwork. I felt best using my FreeWheel so I could go through the grassy areas as well and explore every side of the pieces.

    If you’re ready to check out Totem Pole Park yourself, head to 21300 OK-28 A in Chelsea, Oklahoma!
